By the way, when they are on the trip I'm going to treat it like a vacation because it goes better with the story, don't attack me lmao.

also the song has nothing to do with the book but it's a really good song.

When I got to class I decided I was going to go to the same spot as last time but there was someone there. I had never seen them before. She looked like she was very sweet. She had beautiful golden brown skin with long black/dark dark brown strips of hair hanging down off of her shoulders. The seat next to Ethan was the only one available so I sat there still confused as to why he wasn't at my locker. Don't get me wrong it made me really happy but I was so confused. I hope it stays like this. I'm not going to bring it up though because he could still come.

The teacher walked into the room and said good morning. He walked around giving a piece of paper

"So in 2 weeks we will be going on the year 10 camp. It is compulsory"

The piece of paper landed on my desk

"The payment is $100 and if you have any problems with payments you can talk to me after school and we can find a way to shave some of it off, you will need to fill out the back page. The back page is who you want to sit on the bus and which bus, also who you want to be in a room with. Its a 4 person room and you need to hand it in by this friday"

All the kids in the room started cheering and sir told us to be quiet and continued with the lesson

*After class

I saw that girl in the back of the class. She is new so I decided I would help her out. The bell rang and we all walked out

"Hey" i said to her

"hi " she said back

"Your new right? I don't think i had ever seen you before"

"Ya, i moved from Australia"

"You will have to tell me all about that, i don't think you told me you name" i said holding out my hand

im Caroline and yours"

"Im Amelia, do you want to sit with me, i could show you around if you want"

"Ya sure thank you" we both walked towards the cafeteria getting to know eachother better and I found Audrey sitting at the table with someone else. Grayson? Why is Grayson sitting with us"Hey guys"

"Hi" they said in unison

"What are you doing here, not that i'm complaining or anything i miss you"

"Oh Max did some really shitty things that i don't agree with so i'm going to sit with you guys for a while" i was really intrigued as to what he did but I didn't want to push it so instead I said,

"Ok cool"

"One more thing, can Ethan come as well" he said with pleading eyes

"I don't know Gray"

"Come on he is changing and if he tries anything he will regret it"

"Fine, also this is Caroline" I said smiling over at her as well as watching Gray call EThan over and with a groan slowly stroll here

"Hey," Audrey said. Ethan slumped next to Grayson and folded his arms being a little bitch.

"Hi" she smiled sweetly

"Guys so we have camp"

"Us 4?"

"Yes" Ethan rolls his eyes but at least he said yes. I really didn't want Ethan to come but at the same time what can you do.

"I wish i could go"

"Oh i bet you do" i chuckle

"Whatever, imma go find my friends bye guys"

"Bye" we all said in sync

You see when I first moved here Ethan was really sweet. But then he got popular in primary. For a couple of months I have tried to get one of my best friends back but it didn't work, so I gave up.

*2 weeks later (day of the trip)

*Graysons POV

I hate seeing Ethan and Amelia fight. My 2 best friends don't get along. It breaks my heart

"E" i scream

"What" he screams while running down the stairs

"Hey man can you please back off Amelia this week. I know you don't like her but i love both of you and i really don't need you to ruin this week for all of us"

"But Gray"

"No E. no buts please just try"

"Ok i'll try"

"Thank you" I hug him and when we separate we grab our luggage and go outside to see Amelia and Caroline with their stuff all in Amelia's truck. Caroline is in the back so I ran and sat next to her.

*skip ride

Ethan is such a party pooper. The entire ride we were jamming out to some good bops (A/N i'm so sorry i thought it would be funny but its not and there is no way I'm taking it out now) and Ethan wouldn't get off his phone. Well it's better than him being rude to Amelia.

I have a secret

I low-key really like Caroline. She is really cute and sweet and so innocent and her eyes. Oh her eyes I could stare into them forever. And her smile. I melt everytime i see it, but I just don't know what to do. Do I tell her? Or do I not? I'm so confused.

Anyways when we get out i pick up Caroline's and my own suitcase placing it on the curb. Ethan raises his eyebrows letting me know to watch whatever is about to happen. I cross my arms not excited for it.

"Would you like me to help you" he sends a smirk my way and I roll my eyes

"No im ok"

"No really let me help you" Ethan insists but she picks it up ignoring him. Ethan pushes it back down

"No really let me help you" he said

"Stop Ethan" she picked up the suitcase but Ethan started pulling on it

"No just let me help you" he says pulling into his chest

"I'm capable on my own," she said, pulling it back. I'm pretty sure it was one of those clicker suitcases because Ethan tried to pull it back but the suitcase exploded all over the sidewalk. My eyes widen and my jaw dropped

"Omg Ethan you are so stupid if you didn't try to help this wouldnt have happened. Thanks a lot" she screamed picking up her stuff

"Here let me help you"

"No, I think you've done enough," she said with venom dripping from her voice. Ethan ignored her requests to stop but instead started picking up her stuff and she let him. After point 2 seconds Ethan looked at me with a smirk hanging off his stupid lips

"What" I mouthed to him. He started to lift his fingers to see lacy black underwear hanging of 2 of his fingers

"Oh Amelia" he sang. She lifted her face up and it went red. She snatched it out of his hands and shoved it into her suitcase. I started laughing but immediately stopped when Caroline glared at me. She gave Amelia a sympathetic look and started helping her as well. They have gotten so close. They are kind of inseperable.
